In the stunning finale of the epic Fate of the Jedi series, Jedi and Sith face off—with Coruscant as their battlefield. For the Sith, it's the chance to restore their dominance over the galaxy that forgot them for so long. For Abeloth, it's a giant step in her quest to conquer all life everywhere. For Luke Skywalker, it's a call to arms to eradicate the Sith and their monstrous new master once and for all.

In a planetwide strike, teams of Jedi Knights take the Sith infiltrators by swift and lethal surprise. But victory against the cunning and savage Abeloth, and the terrifying endgame she has planned, is anything but certain. And as Luke, Ben, Han, Leia, Jaina, Jag, and their allies close in, the devastating truth about the dark side incarnate will be exposed—and send shock waves through the Jedi Order, the galaxy, and the Force itself.

Jim Fulner reviewed Apocalypse (Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi - Legends) by Troy Denning

3 stars

Denning is my favorite Star Wars author, but he fell short of my high expectations for him here. returnreturnThis is very anti climatic. For finishing the 9 book series, in one of the longest Star Wars novels, I was really hoping for more. It still ends as if preparing ofr a next book. Maybe they wanted to do another 9 book series that tracked back to, but I think the change in "Star Wars Legends" forced by Disney is going to make that not happen. returnreturnThe love story between Skywalker and Kei fades out in a way that makes little sense. returnreturnThe Story of Han/Leia and their daughter-in-law/granddaughter is better than the rest, like usual.
